About 5 months ago we looked at porting some of our custom inhouse
applications to wine. We make heavy use of the PATH variable to set which
dll's get used by our apps. I just installed the wine 0.9.16 redhat rpm and
WINEPATH doesn't seem to work anymore. The only documentation I could find
on it was this snippet from Dec 2002.

+ Note however that there is an exception to the rule:
+ If you want to change the PATH environment variable, then of
+ course you can't modify it that way, since this will alter the
+ Unix PATH environment setting. Instead, you should set the

In Centos 4 we set WINEPATH="/path/to/dll_dir_1;/path/to/d11_dir_2;"
but WINEPATH doesn't appear to be passed through. I've tried using
windows c:\ format but my dll's in these paths don't load. Has this
functionality disappeared? If so is there another way to dynamically
set the path (no config files.)
Thanks
Daniel
